Updates to the fifth edition of UL’s ANSI/CAN/UL 9540A standard include clearer criteria for determining cell-to-cell propagation of thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that causes rapid temperature and pressure rises in battery cells, leading to the risk of fire and explosion.
[pdf] U.S. researchers have developed a sodium-ion pouch cell that operates reliably at temperatures as low as –100 C. The battery was tested with simulated and real renewable energy sources, including wind and solar, and maintained stable performance in both laboratory and field conditions.
[pdf] Release by Scatec has completed construction on two solar-plus-storage facilities, Maroua and Guider, in northern Cameroon, with a combined capacity of 36MW solar and 20MW/19MWh of storage.
[pdf] That's where the Guangming New Energy Storage Base steps in. Spanning 12.8 square kilometers in Anhui Province, this $2.4 billion project's redefining how we store clean energy. China added 216 GW of solar capacity in 2023 alone - enough to power 30 million homes.
[pdf] In Thailand, Trinasolar has implemented a 24 MW AC floating solar plant at Ubonrat Dam in Khon Kaen, which has been operational since March 2024. This project is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 41,000 tons and generate 46 million kWh of electricity annually, supporting approximately 18,000 homes.
[pdf] Government initiatives and disaster resilience programs boost the adoption of solar containers for emission-free power. The above 50 kW segment is gaining traction for its ability to power large commercial operations and rural community electrification.
